The western media has downplayed the enormity and shear size of this tragedy and the heroic efforts of the PLA. They only report with tunnel vision on single stories.
Use some known western landmarks as a comparison for most westerners do not understand the size of the areas affected like this that I used in Canada:
That's not true, I live in a remote area in the caribbean and the only news from this earthquake came from CNN. We were aware of the destruction and understood the tragedy very well.
Oh really ?, show me one article or report that shows any comparisons that the general ignorant public in the US understands ?
There is currently more sympathy, compassion and coverage of the small 6.3 magnitude little quake that struck Italy now than their was for this massive quake with a dense population.
1. About 6 million people are affected
2. The population of about 7 Canadian major cities is affected
3. A distructive power equivalent to about 7 Hiroshima size atomic bombs dropped simutaneously together
4. The size of the province of Alberta is the affected area
5. 7000+(no typo !) schools with children in them collapsed during the quake
6. 130,000 troops from the PLA is on scene equivalent to two times the amount of the entire Canadian Armed Forces is mobilized
